Everyone forms their beliefs about life from sources that they have come to trust.  Whether it be a teacher, parent, author, or personal experience, everyone must take a step of faith as they seek to ask the question, “What is true?”

For the people of Grassroots, Jesus is the one that we have come to trust.  We are convinced that he spoke from God and that his words are true.  For this reason, all of our central convictions are rooted in the person, work, and teachings of Jesus Christ.

God
We believe that the Divine Godhead exists eternally as a loving community of three all-glorious persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Though three, they are of one essence, perfect in love and harmony.  God is creator and sustainer of all life and is present in his creation while at the same time being separate and distinct from it.  God is sovereign over all things and ordains in his loving wisdom all that comes to pass as a means to his glory and the everlasting joy of his people.

Jesus
We believe that Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God.  He is the creator of the universe who humbled himself to serve and die for the people who he created.  He was born of a virgin, lived a life of love and obedience to his heavenly Father, was crucified as a criminal, and on the third day rose from the dead.  After showing himself to many witnesses, he ascended into heaven where he now reigns over all creation and intercedes on behalf of his people.
